All you need is a pair of scissors, a T-shirt and a fun attitude.
This book is entitled Generation T: 108 ways to transorm a T-shirt. It was written by Megan Nicolay and published by Workman Publishing Company, Inc.
I enjoyed this book for its originality. It is written almost as a diary of sorts. This young lady organized a group of creative friends and gave them a set of guidelines that allowed them, to a large degree, free reign to take a t-shirt and give it a custom, current look.
They used shirts with designs and slogans, vintage shirts, plain shirts, old shirts and new. They were then challenged to come up with all manner of altering the shirt to give it a new life.
For each design the author gives step-by-step directions so you can create the tees at home. The reader can also use the designs as a starting place to create original designs of their own.
There are a large number of patterns that would be difficult to recreate were it not for the author including not only the instructions but clear and understandable diagrams.
This book should be a staple for every teenager. Check your Christmas list. Do you have a teen to buy for and are stumped as to what they would like? They will think you are the hippest (is that still a word?) aunt, uncle, parent, or grandparent around. Click here to find Generation T online
